4 P A R I S H G O A L Facing Our Maker $65 million Every parish in the diocese is being asked to par cipate in this historic campaign. The collec ve parish goal is $65 million. L E A D E R S H I P G O A L Ron Rolheiser, OMI $60 million Bishop Kevin J. Farrell, assisted by clergy and lay leaders, has set a personal goal of raising addi onal funds to carry the diocese beyond the parishes goal Some day you will have to face your Maker! We ve all heard that phrase. The hour will come when we will stand alone before of $65 million. God with no place to hide, no room to ra onalize, and no excuses to offer for our weaknesses and sin. We will stand in a searing light, naked and exposed, and all we ever did, good and bad, will stand with us in that light. That prospect, however vaguely felt, makes for a dark corner in every person s mind. But we can go through our daily lives with that prospect mostly consigned to the back of our minds. We know that someday we will have to face it all, but that day is a long ways off and, for now, we can peacefully accommodate ourselves to our procras na ons and weaknesses. The me to radically face ourselves and our Maker, to stand in the searing light of full judgment, will only come at the me of death. But, why wait un l death? Why live with so much unnecessary fear? Why hide from God s judgment? Why delay throwing ourselves into God s mercy and peace? Searing judgment of our souls is meant to be a daily occurrence, not a single trauma c moment at the end of our lives. We are meant to bring ourselves, with all our complexi es and weaknesses, into God s full light every day. How? There are many ways to do this, though all of them are predicated on the same thing, namely, on bringing ourselves before God in searing honesty. In essence, we face the light of God s full judgment every me we pray in real honesty. Genuine prayer brings us into that searing light. And, in the great prayer tradi ons, one par cular form of prayer, contempla ve prayer, is singled out as being most helpful in doing this, that is, prayer without words, without images, the prayer of quiet, centering prayer. There are various methods for praying in this way. From the Desert Fathers, through the author of the Cloud of Unknowing, through Thomas Merton, through John Main, through Thomas Kea ng, through Laurence Freeman, among others, we have been invited to supplement our other methods of prayer with contempla ve prayer, that is, prayer without images, without words, without concentra ng on holy thoughts, and without looking for affec ve, faith-filled feelings in our prayer. How do we pray in this way? We pray in this way by wordlessly bringing ourselves into God s presence in a way that we hide nothing of ourselves. Perhaps a descrip on of how this kind of prayer differs from other kinds of prayer might best serve us here. Normal, medita ve types of prayer essen ally work this way: You set off to pray, find a quiet place, sit or kneel down, make a conscious act to center yourself in prayer, focus on an inspiring text or thought, begin to meditate on those words, try to hear what is being said inside you, ar culate the challenge or insight that is making itself heard there, and then connect this all to your rela onship to God, through gra tude, love, praise, or pe on. In this kind of prayer, your focus is on an inspiring word or insight, the response this creates in you, and your own response to God in the light of that. But, and this is its shortcoming, the words, images, and feelings in that kind of prayer, for all their goodness, can s ll act as a camouflage that protects you from being fully exposed and naked before God, akin to what we can do in a conversa on with another person when we can talk about all kinds of things, good things, but avoid talking about what is really at issue. Contempla ve prayer, by way of contrast, is prayer without words or images. It works this way: You set off to pray, find a quiet place, sit or kneel, and make a conscious act to simply place yourself before God. Then you simply stay there, naked and unprotected by any words, images, conversa ons, ra onaliza ons, or even by any holy feelings about Jesus, his Mother, some saint, some icon, or inspira onal idea. All of these, good as they are, can help you avoid having to be there naked before God. Contempla ve prayer brings you into God s presence without protec on, with no possibility of hiding anything. The silence and absence of prayerful conversa on is what leaves you naked and exposed, like a plant si ng in the sun, silently drinking in its rays. We are meant to face God like this every day of our lives, not just at the moment of our death. So, each day, we should set aside some me to put ourselves into God s presence without words and without images, where, naked, stripped of everything, silent, exposed, hiding nothing, completely vulnerable, we simply sit, full face, before God s judgment and mercy. By doing this, we will preempt any trauma c encounter at the me of our death and, more importantly, we will begin, already here and now, to enjoy more fully God s empathic embrace.
